Directors' health and safety checklist

Directors’ health and safety checklist

Directors are more likely than ever to get the blame when there’s a health and safety incident. Using our checklist will help them to avoid legal action.

What’s covered?

Directors and other senior managers need to show that they take reasonable care. A good place to start is with recommendations from the HSE and the Institute of Directors. So we’ve created a checklist based on that guidance.

Broadly, it covers:

the role of the board, i.e. how board meetings should operate, information to be received and monitoring which should be undertaken

the actions which individual directors should take

checks which should be carried out on the company’s arrangements for health and safety.
